hard drive on the old poota developed the click of death...
got another off a mate but it didnt recognise it until the jumper was set to 'slave'... only hard drive in the machine...
so i get the bios to find it, it registers its size but nothing on the heads or cylinders...
i was expecting it to have something on it at least but am i correct in thinking what ive got is basically a brand new hard drive, unformatted...
it does absolutely nothing on boot up, no 'disk error's, nothing, just a flat cursor...
do i need to get hold of a windows disk to reformat and install windows?
or is the drive shafted?
thaks for any help, last time i did this was on a 486dx66
